  • Even if it's possible, once it's been shown on the terminal it's no longer in the pty. Commented Jun 10, 2011 at 3:32

    yeah i guess it depends if some kind of stream needs to be re-directed or if it can just be passively 'read' by my terminal. i should have just done screen rsync ... at home but i didnt expect it to take so long when i started. Commented Jun 10, 2011 at 3:38
  • If you just want to see what rsync is doing, you can just attach a strace to the process: strace -p 7214 Commented Jun 10, 2011 at 3:43
  • i tried strace but it gives a MASSIVE output (probably due to the high speed of the rsync process) like this: read(0, "\n\204C\320\234\33\36\376\36\244H\242\3\1\231\353F[G[SN\244M\0232(\213\247GKh"..., 4092) = 4092 select(1, [0], [], NULL, {60, 0}) = 1 (in [0], left {59, 999998}) Commented Jun 10, 2011 at 3:46

    With a bit more experience you would know just to start thes long running commands in tmux or screen. Commented Apr 11, 2016 at 22:40
